An Entire Festival Dedicated to Famous Southern Fried Chicken

Alongside the tasting, booths will include some of Houston’s favorite places to eat, food trucks, and plenty of fried chicken and sides to experience.

You’ll get to vote for the winner in the Best Fried Chicken Contest and the Most Creative Fried Chicken Dish. You can also sign up to participate in the Chicken Wing Eating Contest, which measures who can eat the most chicken wings in two minutes. Another contest you can participate in, which includes two divisions, one for children under 12 and the rest for adults, is the Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest, which measures who can spit the seeds the farthest distance. Live music and a Kid’s Zone, filled with games for children, will also be present to entertain guests during the festival.
